+4 Badgers Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Lol I could give you a hint for the second one too. Wait and see what the others come up with before hinting Well I've had the correct answer PM'd to me....(and for some reason I can't PM back )........go for it!!!!! Link to comment
+MJB58 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Ok the first guy is Brian Eno The clue for the second guy is Talking Heads Link to comment
+sTeamTraen Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Ok the first guy is Brian Eno The clue for the second guy is Talking Heads Well without knowing the answer or googling, presumably it's David Byrne. Now who gets the prize if two people provide half the answer each? Link to comment

+Jango & Boba Fett Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 OK. Still with musicians: who's this? Now I'm sure I recognise him, at first I thought it might be Gordon McQueen, but now it's dawned on me who it actually is. Link to comment
+sTeamTraen Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Now I'm sure I recognise him, at first I thought it might be Gordon McQueen, but now it's dawned on me who it actually is. Nice try (in fact I wish I'd thought of it), but wrong... it's a real musician, who has appeared on numerous million-selling albums. Link to comment

+Jango & Boba Fett Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 OK. Still with musicians: who's this? A serious suggestion would be the producer Mickie Most (though I think it might be Rob Davies writer/producer/Mud - can't get you out of my head, na na na na na na) Link to comment

+Jango & Boba Fett Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 (edited) That will teach me to post facetious replies. So sticking with our recent musical theme, my question is: Abroath's most famous son popularised the cornkister "The Muckin' o' Geordie's Byre", however this superficially bawdy and humours tale hides a darker side. Explain briefly what the song is really about. {Sorry but Team Clova, experts on 1819 and all Mancunian's have a head start on this one} Edited May 26, 2006 by Jango & Boba Fett Link to comment

Explain briefly what the song is really about. Not enough hints yet, I would have thought this popular ballad of errant farmer George unable to control his wayward offspring, farm going to rack & ruin, farm animals forced to sort out the mess - that and the Mancunian 1819 hint would be enough, but maybe this might spark some ideas: Link to comment
alistair_uk Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 It has been suggested that I may be able to answer this one, but to be honest I don’t think I can. I believe the song is one from the early 1800 that was essentially political satire and helped to bring about a certain about of political reform. This was is Scotland and not England though, so I probably have it wrong. Link to comment
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 My mistake for thinking some quite blatent Georgian political satire might be more accessible than 70s prog rock. Is there anyone out there who watched Blackadder Series 3 and would like to answer this one. Link to comment

Is there anyone out there who watched Blackadder Series 3 and would like to answer this one. I did not like Blackadder 3 much, 2nd and goes forth were the ones I really enjoyed. So now we needs a cunning plan.... Link to comment
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 It's all about cleaning out the cowshed by Robbie Burns? Nope The Bard wrote a maudling lament (normaly he can be depended on to give the unexpurgated versions) which sanitised the political content, although Jean Redpath does sing a fine version; but go on and explain what Rabbie managed to hide in all that love lorn schmaltz. I'd try Willie Kemp's version which is much plainer speaking and on which Andy Stewart based his version (it was the B side to Scottish Soldier). The coothie Scottish bit is just a distraction really, this is a British popular ballad. It just happens that a Scottish dialect version is still sung. Lets try an even bigger hint - what famous BRITISH person called George liked farming as a hobby, had badly behaved children (particularly the sons), lived in a time of popular unrest which culminated in a set of events that took place in Manchester in August 1819 - is that strong enough a hint?

+Simply Paul Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 George the IV, who wasn't mad but did spend money like it was going out of fashion. AKA Farmer George? Link to comment
+Jango & Boba Fett Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 George the IV, who wasn't mad but did spend money like it was going out of fashion. AKA Farmer George? Good enough for me, though George IV was the unruly son, the American War and unrest in GB & Ireland were the rebelling cattle & pigs, Caroline was of course the wife and the Peterloo Massacre on St Peter's Field manchester makes it in there at the end (although strangely both Rabbie Burns and Andy Stewart left it out). Must say my favourite part in the Arbroath Chanter's version is his translation of "siccan a sous was aebody in, five mile awa you could hear the din, even the vera coo hid tae grin, at the muckin o Geordie's byre" Which becomes: "Such a stramash was there to see, Five miles away you could hear the melee, Even the domesticated animals were consumed with glee, At the cleansing of George's cow shed" DING!!! over to you Paul Link to comment
